Expansion Screw
The Pop expansion screw’s flat, self-centering rectangular guide ensures controlled, continuous expansion, according to LeoneAmerica. Both upper and lower versions are made from biomedical stainless steel and technopolymer and are embossed with arrows to indicate the direction of opening. The screw’s flexibility facilitates adjustments and makes it ideal for use as a holding device following rapid expansion. Multiple colors are available.

Heat Sterilizer
The RH-Pro11 tabletop sterilizer uses RapidHeat technology for high-velocity hot-air sterilization. According to the company, unwrapped instruments can be sterilized in as little as six minutes, and a wrapped instrument cycle takes 12-20 minutes. Both cycles are FDA-cleared. Because no steam or water is used, no drying is needed, and instruments remain corrosion-free. The tabletop sterilizer holds four large instrument trays and uses 85% less energy than steam sterilizers.
